The first version of the platform was issued in autumn 2000 with the introduction of Opel Corsa C and was a development of the earlier GM4200 platform used in previous Corsa models, developed by Opel in Germany. The wheelbase was enlarged to 2,491 mm (98.1 in) from 2,465 mm (97.0 in) on the GM4200.

A new version of the Gamma platform, dubbed SCCS (Small Common Components and Systems), was codeveloped since 2002 by a team of Fiat and Opel engineers located in Turin. The platform premiered with 2005 Fiat Grande Punto and is used in 2007 Corsa, wheelbase was increased to 2,510 mm (98.8 in).
Even after the dissolution of the GM/Fiat partnership, both companies retain the rights to continue developing SCCS-derived models.
Vehicles based on SCCS platform:
GMDAT has taken responsibility for future development of the GSV (Global Small Vehicle) architecture,[2][3]. This architecture will eventually replace all small vehicles from GM, as a true global small car platform. Most of the engineering work on GSV based Opel vehicles was done at Opel Int. Technical Development Center in Rüsselsheim, Germany.
The vehicles will be assembled at factories in the United States, Germany, Spain, India, Korea, Mexico, Thailand, Venezuela, and China.
